The Saga of the Attainment of the Sacred Dish
To be performed by Jonathan Aberford, a druid from the novel Mairelon the Magician, to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm".
The Sons of New Dawn want our dish;
We are mighty druids.
We'll steal it from old Bramingham,
If no one beats us to it!
Others want
Our great dish,
But we have got a plan!
I will stand upon a bucket,
Outside the library window.
And those inside shall give it me,
whether they will or no!
Then we'll have
The sacred
Dish. We'll begin our rituals!
I couldn't get the Sacred Dish-
Darn that tippy bucket.
When I slipped, my gun went off,
And it caused a ruckus.
Making it
Impossible
To force them to give it me!
Now we move on to Plan B:
another robbery.
Under cover of a bet
Between Robert and me.
The coach I'll
Stop, and then
The dish I'll take from them!
Unfortunately, there's no Plan C,
For Plan B has failed me.
I was caught by vicious Stower,
and became prisoner three.
Laverham
And Stower
Take us to defile our lodge!
Many people have turned up,
And things are confusing.
All of them want our dish now;
Force and spells they're using.
To find the
Sacred Dish
And claim it for their own!
Turns out the Dish is a platter,
One of the Saltash Set.
It was stolen a long time ago,
And so we can't keep it!
It's not fair-
Lodge in ruins,
Dish is gone forever!
The Sons of New Dawn have a Dish;
It's a Saltash fake.
It'll work better anyhow;
Now our magic will take.
No old spells
In the way
And it's identical!
Kim came up with the idea;
She's a magician's helper.
Mairelon, her master, agreed,
And now we've got our platter!
So we can
Begin our
New rituals and mysteries!
